But Michelle, zey will torture me if zey catch me wiz ze Fallen Madonna wiz ze Big Boobies by Van Clomp. I am not a brave man. I will ave to tell all I know - not zat I know anything of course.

Do not worry, Rene. If I can spare ze time I will come and elp you. But anyway, we ave drugged ze colonel's wine to make things easier for you. You ave to find your way to ze safe in le chateaux, avoiding ze guards and pick up any elp you can on ze way.

Some of ze guards are very ard to fool and you must use your friends to get past zem. If you are caught by ze guard you must use some of your great courage to get away. Remember, ze future of all France is in your ands. Good luck mon amie!

Rene is depending on you to help him through his difficult task.

Avoid the guards, collect any gold you may find lying around, pick up bottles to increase your confidence level. And remember, if all else fails, THROW SOMETHING!

If you select the two player game, one person controls Rene, and the other Michelle. Both players are active at the same time but of course, you can only see one at a time (unless both are in the same room).

You can centre the screen on either player by a simple key press but remember, the other player is still able to move about when you cannot see them. Although the guards will not attack the off-screen player he, or she, can still be injured in falls, etc. so TAKE CARE!

- Remember there is more than one fake painting (of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies by Van Clomp) hidden in the knockwurst sausages on the first level. Don't leave any behind!
- The train driver is easily bribed to stop for you but you'll need to collect as much forged money as you can on the way to the front of the train (Hint - To get ahead, get a hat!).
